I am always getting 'Connection Timeout'

[trusybee125]

2 years ago we finally hooked up a wireless router in our home, but it has been driving us nuts. After I am finished using my MacBook and reopen it, it sya 'Connection Timeout' and does not want to connect to the network unless I turn the Wireless and Broadband routers off and on. The exact same situation happens on all the other devices like the iPod, PsVita, PS3, Iphone, and PC. Can somebody tell me what is going on and how to fix it.

- Motorola SB5100
- Netgear WGR614 v6 54Mbps

The fact that the problem occurs on all devices means it may be time to pickup a new wireless router. Or you can try resetting/updating the firmware on your WGR614.

Here is the firmware download page:

Any modern day 802.11n router will be a nice upgrade from the WGR614 which is only 802.11g.

that is your router wireless problem. if updating the firmware does not fix the issue then it is time to get a new router.
